At the heart of heritage politics are three questions: what heritage is, who decides what it is, and for whom is the decision made. However, existing work on heritage language has rarely tackled these questions, assuming that teaching children of migrants their \"heritage language\" empowers them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book challenges this assumption, situating the notion of heritage language in the host society's involvement in social justice, nation-building efforts, (superficial) celebration of diversity, and investment on global links the migrants offer as well as the migrants' fear of discrimination and desire for belonging, social status, and economic gain. Based on ethnographic research in Bolivia, Peru, the United States, and Japan, the book illuminates the complexity and political nature of determining what constitutes heritage language for migrants with connections to Japan. This volume opens up a new field of investigation in heritage language studies: the complex linkage between heritage language and social justice for migrants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eCritical Asian Studies\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neriko Doerr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138880388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138880382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Neriko Doerr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438157377791,"sku":"9781138880382","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab9a7125-a799-4ac0-a3c1-8c62a65d6df0.jpg?v=1777169201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heritage-nationhood-and-language-neriko-doerr-9781138880382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
